Sergey Snegov: Gusinsky is unlucky

Gusinsky is unlucky recently. He has failed to prove to Spanish Themis that his case is a political one. Spanish authorities stated that they were not to doubt in Russian law. The court also refused to change the preventive punishment of the media magnate. The investigator says he will consider the question of choosing another preventive punishment for Gusinsky but only after he is delivered to Russia under escort. To Gusinsky’s horror western investigating agencies share the opinion of their Russian colleagues. Moreover, a spokesman for INTERPOL has said that he is sure in the propriety of investigating agencies activity, who arrested Gusinsky. The media baron is charged with fraud, so the political prosecution is not concerned here, the spokesman says. Thus the media magnate failed to make a political refugee. It can come to extradition. More and more facts indicate that the extradition will take place.
